January 30, 2012

Here is some cleanup from listening sessions months ago that never found their way to be published. Many of these were from October 2011 and a pretty tough stretch for me. Several things were ending, and not in a way I liked. I'm not over that, probably won't ever be, but music remains a constant thread through my life. Sometimes it has preserved my sanity and sometimes it has served to give expression to many of the emotions that are too hard to know how to feel about.

Swirly - Ringo Deathstarr

Always Looking - Dum Dum Girls

Vessel - Zola Jesus

Get Right - Megafaun

Montana - Youth Lagoon

Free As A Bird - The Beatles

Ghost Town - First Aid Kit

The Lion's Roar - First Aid Kit

And some from now...

Hair - Lady Gaga

Old Friend - Caveman

Gold - Delayed Trees

Art of Almost - Wilco

Always more to come...
